floral tributes and adjourned this

WIRY lUY 18 BARGAIN DAT AT PENNSY*8
The most interesting DAR nsws
this week is of course the opening
of the 57tb Continenul Congress
for the first lime since World War
II commenced. The society was per
mitted to meet on their regular
dates in their own beautiful build
ing.
The whole effort' of the DAR was
for the winning of the war and
the building was used towards that
end for the Red Cross. Our motto
is for God, Home and Country and
preparedness and even aniversal
utility service seem necessary now
to that end.
Mrs. Kathryn Myers Michener,
wife of Major Michener and Mrs.
Usher Myers were the delegates
from the Hobkirk Hill chapter, but
at the last moment Mrs. Michener
was not able to attend on account
of the major's leave of absence.
But will will give a report later.
The meeting at Mrs. Marvin’s on
Friday was highlighted by an ac
count of the State Conference in
Spartanburg by Mrs. George Mich-
olson and the members then enjoy
ed the reception at the home of
Dr. and Mrs. George Barnes. 'The
latter was a member of a Wash
ington chapter and is now trans
ferring -to the Camden chapter.
Names for new members are be
ing presented at each meeting and
all are interested in the marker to
be placed on the Battlefield of Hob-
kirk Hill in the near future.
